As I recall there were no assaults reported according to the NY State Police.

Just because no reports were made to the NY State Police is not evidence that they didn't occur. It was atypical for young ladies of the day to report rapes due to the stigma associated with such attacks and the fact that trial lawyers typically blamed the attacks on the behavior of the victim herself.

For the hippy crowd, reporting a sexual assault to the "fuzz" would be akin to turning down the next hit of the drug du jour.

Now how can I argue with logic like that? If I wanted to I'd go over to DU.

Oh baloney. Please spare me that line. Rape is rape and if a girl is raped she either reports it or doesn't. Even back then. Even now women don't report it & it has nothing to do with the next hit of the drug du jour. Some woman don't have it in them to go through all the questions etc & others will. It depends on who you are & how strong a person you are. Its not an easy thing to go through.
